Premier League to hold UK government talks as season to resume soon behind closed doors

The English Premier League will hold further talks this week regarding a return behind closed doors in June and it has the backing of the UK government.

All 20 clubs will hold their latest conference call this Saturday with the knowledge that the country's political leaders are also keen for the season to resume when possible.

The Digital, Culture, Media and Sport Secretary Oliver Dowden says he has been in talks with the Premier League, with a view to getting football up and running as soon as possible in order to support the whole football community.

However, Dowden says any such move would have to be consistent with public health guidance.
